My mate has got a T78 on his R33 (currently for sale). He has around 500rwhp. Not sure when it comes on but being a large turbo its a little laggy but the top end is awesome. He has had a heavy duty clutch fitted so driveability is fine and the box is holding up so far. Not sure on fuel consumption but very reasonable from what i have heard.

Anybody out there fitted a T78 or T88 Turbo? Thinking about it for an upgrade and would like to know about bhp, box & clutch upgrade, lag, general driveabliity, fuel consumption and such.  Let the good times roll......

Not really enouth info concerning your current set up (stock internals/mods etc), type of car, power aim, how much MONEY you have budgeted (in any case take a figure you think will cover it and double it).

DR as in DR GTR not bad y go big high mount cops are goning to f*&ked over the coming months i would just go low mounts big ones 4 simlier power u would have to look at upgrading internals 4 ethier T78 or T88 and T51R SPL and a least a cross missoin gear set

get twin low mounts, gtss's, 2530s or N1s

the only big turbo car ive been is a gts-t with a t67(large exhaust housing)..

that car had stock internals and pulled 340rwkw on about 1.2bar... anyway it had cams a/f int plenum, flowed head etc came on full boost about 4500 but had useful boost at around 4000...

the car wasnt that good for everyday useable power.. lots of top end.

Dual sequential turbo's are by far, the smarter choice in terms of drivability and top end performance.

[offtopic] Yes, but why would you rid the RB26 of its true-twin set up (by true-twin I mean non-sequential, i.e. both turbos spool and produce +pressure (boost) at the same time) setup in favour of a sequential twin setup? Sequential systems are good in theory, but by having the huffers sharing the same exhaust manifold, they suffer from the "gate" (for lack of a better word) that switches between the small and large huffers being jammed or stuck, rendering the sequential setup partially useless..Examples are FD series RX-7s and JZA80 series Supras [/offtopic]

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
